Sourcing services for industry
Sourcing means finding suitable suppliers and evaluating procurement options. RS Global helps source suppliers for metal parts and structures and brings manufacturing procurement together in one clear process.
When should you outsource supplier sourcing?
A procurement partner can help when you do not have enough time to find suppliers, a new product needs a manufacturer or quotations are difficult to compare. The requirement may involve a single metal part, a prototype, a production series or a larger structural assembly.
What information do we need from you?
You can start with an idea, a drawing or other initial information. Together, we review what has already been defined and what needs clarification before requesting quotations.
- The product’s intended use, drawings and dimensions, if available
- Material and quality requirements, including any surface treatment
- Quantity and whether the requirement is for a prototype, a production series or recurring deliveries
- Target schedule, delivery location and procurement scope
- Any testing, documentation and packaging requirements
How are suppliers and quotations compared?
The comparison is based on the same product and delivery requirements. We establish manufacturing capabilities, quotation scope, price and schedule. We clarify unclear points so that the assessment considers what the delivery actually includes, rather than just the unit price.
- Does the proposed manufacturing meet the specified intended use and requirements?
- What does the price include: manufacturing, surface treatment, testing, packaging and delivery?
- What is the delivery schedule and which factors affect it?
What does RS Global handle – and what do you decide?
RS Global identifies supplier options and prepares a quotation that presents price, scope and schedule together. We define the requirements and scope of work with you. You approve the quotation before orders are placed. After approval, we handle orders, production follow-up and delivery coordination within the agreed scope.
